+ If you dump a keymap (using 'dumpkeys') to
+ /etc/sysconfig/console/default.kmap
+ it will be loaded on bootup before filesystems are mounted/checked.
+ This could be useful if you need to emergency type the root password.
+ This has to be a dumped keymap, as opposed to copying the shipped
+ keymap files, as the shipped files include other maps from the
